Disputes Resolution

"Forever providing winning solutions"

Litigation
involves choices, and choices provide opportunities to position our clients to
achieve the best levels of success.

The strength
and direction of our approach is controlled by you. From the outset you will be
given clear, costed guidance on all available options, whether negotiating for an
early settlement or driving a claim forward through to court proceedings. An expert
team reviews the tactical and strategic decisions that need to be made in the management
of disputes, adapted to your needs and resources, whether that involves strengthening
your position or by broadening the range of innovative options available to you
in finding a solution.

Careful
analysis of the legal and factual issues enables us to provide practical, clear
cut advice, designed to avoid confusion and unproductive compromise, thus enabling
you to take an informed view of the various options that might emerge as the dispute
progresses. With our knowledge, experience and support, and by utilising every available
resource to gain a favourable result for our clients, we can assure you that you
are in good experts hands. Some cases benefit from persuasive negotiation skills,
which can enable clients to achieve a favourable and fair settlement without going
to Court. However, and only as a last resort, some cases are only successfully resolved
by applying extensive range of litigation tactics.

Adopting
the right approach is particularly important. Knowing the law is only half the battle;
the tactics and underpinning strategy have to be correct and bolstered with the
assembly of the right team of counsel and experts, so as to achieve the most satisfactory
solution for our clients. We have strong links with commercial barristers chambers
and expert witnesses which provide a further layer of assistance and expertise.

With major
dispute matters, we will often put together a team made up of members from other
departments. We encourage full reporting at each stage to keep you fully informed.
The benefit for the client is an efficient and seamless cost-effective service.

We are experienced
in methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedure for resolving disputes.
We see the benefits to clients this brings (especially in saving costs) over the
traditional court route, and we are aware of sources of funding for legal costs.
